After the battle
by locktonyup
Summary: After the 7th book inbetween the last chapter and the epilogue...i suck at summaries but the story is good.....
1. Life Beyond the War with Voldemort

Harry woke up and jumped out of bed grabbing his wand off of the nightstand in one swift motion, he had heard someone scream and feared the worst. He looked down and saw Ginny laying in a heap of blankets and pillows on the floor she looked more surprised then harry and it was apparent that she had just fell out of the bed next to him that was usually occupied by Ron.

She looked up at him, and a grin spread across her face "Hi Harry".

"Ginny what are you doing here?" Harry asked a little too loudly almost sounding like he was angry, still processing everything that had happened in the last 24 hours.

He looked down at his watch and saw that it was 4 o'clock in the evening. It had been just over twelve hours ago that Lord Voldemort the most powerful dark wizard ever to set foot on this earth had been vanquished forever.

He looked back up at Ginny and saw that her smile had faded and she seemed to be on the verge of tears, Harry hurried over to her and held her in his arms.

"Im sorry Ginny I didn't mean it like that it's just you startled me, I'm sorry." he said feeling guilty that he had sounded so aggressive before.

"It's ok it's just that everyone was together downstairs and no one knew where you went so I went looking and when I saw you were up here I was too tired to go back downstairs plus I would rather be here with you." she said now looking up at him.

He beamed at her, suddenly she kissed him and he kissed her back and for a minute he forgot what he still had to do before they could be together again, but then he remembered and fought within himself for a minute before he broke the kiss just as suddnely as it had started.

"Ginny I've got to go take care of somethings before we go any further with this and you have to go with your family they need you." He said regretting every word as he said them.

She glared at him for a moment before she said "I get it you don't like me anymore, don't worry I don't need you anyways!" She began to get up and Harry wrapped his arms around her once more and pulled her close to him.

He looked her dead in the eyes before saying "Ginny it's not like that at all I can't believe you would even think that..." He broke off and looked away and for a minute she thought he was gonna get up and leave her here.

Then he looked into her eyes again and said "Ginny I love you, but your family needs you and there are somethings I need to take care of on my own, then I swear to god I will be right back by your side waiting for you."

His eyes showed the truth in his statement, and Ginny knew it. "Ok I'm sorry I overreacted it's just that..." she stopped.

Harry knew why she had and he felt a lump Form in his throat and he managed to say weakly "Fred." The images of the dead suddenly filled Harry's head and he felt like throwing up.

Fred, Tonks, Lupin, were all dead because they had fought to protect him to help him fulfill his destiny. Voldemort's words echoed in his head. "Accident and chance and the fact that you crouched and sniveled behind the skirts of greater men and women, and permitted me to kill them for you!"

His heart once again ached for the loss of all who had died last night. He felt responsible for their deaths if he had just handed himself over first if only his mother had... "Harry" he did not respond then.

"Harry snap out of it already" Hermione was there with Ginny she was calling to him.

He finally realized this and looked up. "What?" he asked trying to sound casual.

"Ginny they're all waiting for you downstairs why don't you go I'll be there in a minute, ok?" she asked.

Ginny hugged Harry and said "Alright see you in a couple of minutes." She left the room and Hermione looked at him

"McGonagall wants everyone down in the great hall for breakfast and then to honor those that fought last night." she said as he stood up.

"Then we need to go quickly before she honors those that fought, cmon!" he said as he moved towards the door.

"But, Harry, but why?" she asked confused.

"Snape must be honored with the others, if I have to get up there and explain the entire thing to everyone." He said firmly.

"Ok let's hurry" She said agreeing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They had placed Snape with the others and Harry was walking towards McGonagall to explain before she read off the names. He explained the entire story to her and she was convinced that he should be honored also.

Harry looked around the Great Hall for someone he wanted to sit with and saw Neville and his Grandma sitting at the same table as the Weasleys, he had never thanked Neville for believing in him 100 percent.

So he headed over to where they were before he joined Ron, Hermione and Ginny. "Hey Neville" he said as he sat down next to him.

"Hi Harry and congratulations you saved us all your a hero." Neville said enthusiastically, but Harry shook his head.

"Nope Neville I couldn't have finished him without your help you did more then you realize by killing that snake. I'll explain it to you later." He said seeing the confused look on Neville's face.

"Ok Harry i'll see ya later" he said as his gram began pointing out various wizards and witches to him. "See ya Neville." Harry said and headed to the place where the Weasleys and Hermione were eating breakfast.

He sat down next to Ginny and put an arm around her, McGonagall began to stand up, "This is gonna be harder then I thought" was the only thing that ran through Harry's head as the Headmistress cleared her throat and began to speak...


	2. Remembering Those That were Lost

A/N:Sorry about the first chapter it's my first story and I didn't realize it was two big blocks of text please review let me know what I can do better so I can improve thanks.

Disclaimer: oops forgot to put this in the first chapter but obviously I don't own Harry potter or any other characters from the books if I did I would be writing book 8 not writing on Fanfiction.

"As everyone here is aware Lord Voldemort was atlast defeated." a smile spread across her face and then was replaced by a thin line as tears began to form in her eyes.

"There was also an enormous sacrifice that was nessecary to complete this task." She wiped her eyes and continued.

"I feel that those that were lost last night deserve to be honored with a moments silence." She paused for a moment and continued to wipe her eyes.

Harry had never seen her like this and just stared at the stage. Why didn't he just give himself up? Why did he have to be the cause of everyone's losses and pain, he thought.

Professor Mcgonagall began again. "I also think that the name of each person who lost their lives during the battle last night should be placed on a monument and this monument should be placed on Hogwarts grounds. In addition to that I want to have a monument placed on the grounds dedicated to all the people who fought here last night." she paused as everyone clapped and cheered.

"I want to read off the names of each of the people that lost their lives last night during the battle as an honor to their memory." she said and then produced a scroll from thin air with the flick of her wand and began to read off of it.

"There were fifty-two deaths last night here are each of those that lost their lives last night."

Harry counted each name she read off of the list till five remained he dreaded hearing it out loud and already was close to tears because he felt as though it was all his fault.

"Colin Creevey...Severus Snape..." The room gasped upon hearing Snape's room.

A couple of people shouted in protest and Mcgonagall stopped reading she looked up from the list of names and stared at Harry. Harry realized what she was staring at him for and he got up and walked to the front of the room next to Mcgonagall.

Harry took a deep breath and looked out at the crowd, at Mrs.Weasley still sobbing into Mr. Weasley's shoulder. Ron holding Hermione while she cried into his chest, his eyes full with tears.

George was staring at something in the front near the Gryffindor banner tear stains down his face. Ginny was staring at Harry with tears rolling down her cheeks.

Harry began to speak. "Severus Snape deserves to be honored along with the rest." Several people in the crowd once again began protesting this and Harry waited till they were done.

Harry continued. "You all heard me last night when I was fighting Voldemort, Severus Snape was on our side and Albus Dumbledore arranged his death with Snape." He paused for a moment letting the words sink in.

"Severus Snape took his post as headmaster to protect the children here as best he could but couldn't have his cover blown, he also helped me last night by giving me important information as he was dying." Harry stopped and began to walk back to his seat, but an applause broke the silence it was Narcissa Malfoy.

He was surprised that she was risking being noticed by all these people but more applause began and soon the Great Hall was filled with applause.

Harry walked to his seat and held Ginny close, he knew what the last three names on that list would be and almost didn't want Mcgonagall to read them.

Mcgonagall pulled the list back out and began to read again. "Fred Weasley..." All the Weasleys lost it and began sobbing. Ginny was holding onto Harry for dear life, Harry was holding her playing with her hair tears threatening to fall soon.

"Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin." Harry lost the battle to control his emotions and his eyes began to pour rivers of sadness.

Harry's mind was racing as he thought of little Teddy Lupin growing up without a father. Plus Remus the last of the Marauder's one of his dad's best friends, his favorite professor, was dead.

Then there was Tonks, Tonks who just had her kid and would never get to know him.

Harry looked up through the tears and saw Professor Mcgonagall sobbing and Hagrid standing up and trying to comfort her, his beard filled with tears, his massive body shaking from the pain that was in his heart.

The next couple of hours went by slow, it involved a lot of mourning and crying. Eventually it was time to leave Hogwarts, the Weasleys were going to the Burrow and most of the other families were leaving.

The Weasleys invited Harry back to the Burrow but he declined, he said he had some things to take care of and told them he'd be there for dinner. Then he called Kreacher and had him apparate him to Diagon Alley...


	3. The Duel between Friends

A/N sorry I took a little longer with this one then the others but I wanted to make a longer one. Enjoy...

Disclaimer: I dont own Harry Potter i just wish i did...

Harry heard a "POP" and felt the unpleasant feeling of being squished into a tube, fade away. "Would you like anything else Master?" Kreacher said bowing.

"Yes I want you to go to Hogwarts and help with the rebuilding of the castle I will call you later to bring me to Grimmauld place." Harry said.

"Yes Master Harry." Kreacher said, and with another bow he was gone.

Harry went straight into Ollivander's, which had been closed the last time Harry had been to Diagon Alley. Mr. Ollivander looked extremely pleased to see him. "Harry Potter, is it true You Know Who is gone forever?" He asked with hopefullness in his voice.

"Yea, he's dead and won't be returning any time soon." Harry said with a smile that quickly faded, as his mind went back to the others that wouldn't be returning.

"Mr. Ollivander would you happen to have a cloak that would hide my face well, I kinda wanna shop without a lot of hassle." Harry asked.

"Ofcourse, ofcourse anything for the boy who beat You Know Who. I'll get one I have my closet right over here" He answered gesturing to a door beyond the shelves and to the right. He returned a minute or two later with a black traveling cloak and handed it to Harry.

"Here ya go Harry and don't worry about getting it back to me just whenever your around drop by and I'll get it then. I know you might want a bit of privacy while shopping or whatever you might have to do." He said with a smile.

Harry put on the cloak and after saying thank you and good bye he left the shop concelaed beneath the cloak.

It was so big on him that under it, he was unrecognizable to people. Harry headed straight to Gringott's knowing he would need more gold to buy the things he needed. He walked through the front doors and headed over to a clerk's desk.

"Hi I need to withdraw some money from my vault." Harry stated, while fishing around in his robes for his key.

"I see and do you have your key Mr. Potter?" The goblin asked.

"Yea right here." Harry said handing over his key.

Harry and the goblin went to his vault which was nowhere near where the Dragon had broken loose just yesterday. Harry removed as much gold as he could fit into his robes, cloak and the pouch that Hagrid had given him for his birthday that still hung around his neck.

Harry then left Gringott's and headed towards Flourish and Blott's book shop. He entered the shop and began picking up books on charms, cooking, painting and remodeling. He was headed towards the front desk when he saw The Standard Book of Spells Grade 7 and picked it up.

He figured that he could look it over even though he never had a seventh year at Hogwarts. Once all the books were paid for he left the shop and decided to head over to the Quidditch shop before calling Kreacher.

On his way he passed by a closed Weasley's Wizard Wheezes and felt a tinge of pain in his heart. He still couldn't believe that Fred was dead. He entered the Quidditch shop and bought a new Fireblot then he headed back over to Ollivander's and returned the cloak.

Then he called Kreacher to bring him to Grimmauld Place he headed into the kitchen and dropped off his new things on the table.

He picked up his Firebolt and decided that now would be a good time to try it out. He pulled out his invisibility cloak and placed it over himself and the Firebolt in his hands.

He stepped outside and pulled out his wand still under the invisibility cloak and muttered a charm to make the cloak stay on him while he was on his broom. He took off and flew towards the setting sun and the Burrow.

Harry hadn't flown in over a year, it felt great. He felt like something inside him had been born again as he dove towards a lake below, pulling up just before landing in the clear blue water. He flew just above it skimming the water with his hand before ascending back above the trees.

He saw the big rook shaped house that he knew to be Luna Lovegood's. He flew past it and just over the hill he saw a unsturdy looking house that he knew was the Burrow.

He landed in the front yard and dismounted. He put his broom in the broomshed that the Weasley's kept all their brooms in. He then knocked at the front door. Mrs. Weasley opened it looking a bit confused she said "Who's there?"

Harry forgot he was under the invisibility cloak and muttered an incantition removing the charm he placed on it earlier. He pulled it off making Mrs. Weasley jump back in surprise. "Ahh, Harry you startled me a bit." She said before hugging him.

Almost lifting him off of his feet in the process. "It's so good to see you, well dinner will be done in a bit, until then Ron is in his room." She said releasing him and pulling him into the house.

Harry was greeted by Mr. Weasley as he walked through the kitchen and went up the stairs towards Ron's room. He stopped at Ginny's door and heard her crying. He knocked on the door.

"I am not crying Ron I'm fine." Ginny screamed.

"It's Harry, Ginny can I come in?" Harry asked. The door opened and behind it stood the reason that Harry had the strength to carry on during those long days and nights while searching for the horcruxes.

Whenever he had doubts or things seemed hopeless he thought of Ginny and being with her, without the threat of Voldemort.Her eyes were red and there were tear stains all down her face.

"Sorry Harry, It's just, Ron's been bugging me all day." She said trying to hold in her emotions and recover her composure while speaking.

"It's ok Ginny, umm can I come in or-" He asked but was cutoff before he could finish.

"Yeah sure Harry." She said turning and leading him into her room.

She turned and stared out the window for a moment before turning and throwing hersef into his arms. He held her there for several minutes, her head buried in his chest tears falling from her eyes.

After a few minutes her head lifted up and she stared right into his eyes, before shoving him away from her. "How could you? y-you, you left me you left me sitting at Hogwarts, You thought you were gonna die and never even said goodbye to me. How the Hell could you do that?" She asked furiously, her face red, tears falling to the floor.

He opened his mouth to answer but she pushed him out of the room.Harry thought that his first day without Voldemort could not get worse until he saw Ron glaring at him.

He was standing two stairs above Harry and pulled out his wand, pointing it at Harry. "I told you not to mess with my sister I warned you before, now get away from her door." He yelled angrily.

Harry became enraged and began to yell back at Ron when.

Ron screamed "_Stupefy."_

Harry blocked the spell and screamed in his mind "_Incarcerous!"_ Ropes immediately tied themselves around Ron so he could not move.

The non-verbal spell held Ron on the ground and he began to shout. "_Silencio."_ Harry thought and with a wave of his wand Ron fell silent.

Harry didn't realize all the Weasleys were now standing on the stairs listening to the fight. "I'm not messing with Ginny you git, I don't wanna hurt her, she was what I fought for all last year when I felt like it was pointless or hopeless I thought of your sister." Harry yelled at Ron.

"The last thought I had as I was dying was of your sister. I-I love her." He said his voice calming at the last sentence. He fell silent and lifted the spells off of Ron who stood up, his face red as his hair. He looked like he had just been confunded by someone.

Ron opened his mouth to speak but didn't get the chance because just as he began to speak Ginny ran into Harry knocking him over. She hugged him on the ground and began apologizing to Harry.

"I'm sorry harry it's just that when I saw you like that I-I don't know something in me snapped. All year I worried about you, I had nightmares and then it was real you were right infront of my eyes...dead." She began sobbing at the last word.

Harry stood up and picked her up into his arms he walked towards into her room while she continued to cry into his shoulder and try to explain.

"An-and then you were there but, it was just that you never said goodbye and..." Harry cut her off and began to talk.

"I didn't say goodbye because I knew that if I stopped to talk to you then I wouldn't be able to go through with it. I didn't because I knew you were the one person who could stop me from going through with it."

He said and set her down on the bed. He then looked towards the door where Mrs. Weasley stood tears in her eyes, she had obviously heard all the yelling and came to check on things.

She nodded at Harry and with a flick of her wand the door shut harry layed next to Ginny and held her close. After several minutes he felt Ginny's breathing slow to a normal rate and he realized she was fast asleep. A few minutes later he was asleep too.

A/N: I need more reviews, i feel pathetic two chapters and only 4 reviews, If i don't get more reviews I might not update again. plz review :)


	4. The announcement of funerals

A/N: Sorry about the wait I've been at camp and just got back a couple of days ago...

Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own Harry Potter or any of it's characters

"Avada Kedavra" Screamed a high pitched voice. Ginny's lifeless body was blasted into the air and fell to the ground. Voldemort stood in front of Harry wand raised.

"The boy who lived will live no more." Voldemort yelled at him.

"Avada Kedavra." A flash of green light and everything went black.

"Harry" said a familiar sounding voice.

"Harry." Harry opened his eyes and suddenly a very blurry Ginny was leaning over him.

He sat up and picked up his glasses. After putting them on he realized her brown eyes were full of worry and sympathy. Harry pulled her into his arms and held her without a word.

After several minutes Ginny asked. "Harry what happened?"

"Nothing it was just a nightmare Gin." Harry replied. She gave him a quizzical look and he quickly kissed her, taking her by surprise.

She quickly caught up though and returned the kiss. After breaking the kiss, they layed with each other for ten minutes until Mrs. Weasley, knocked on the door and informed them that breakfast was ready.

Harry quickly got up and turned to face Ginny as she got out of bed. As soon as she was on her feet, he swept her up and carried her down to the kitchen.

He set her in a chair beside Hermione and sat down next her. After eating breakfast and chatting with everyone Harry said goodbye to everyone, Mrs. Weasley made him promise to atleast come by for dinner again because she didnt want him to be alone with just Kreacher all day.

Ginny walked outside with him so they could say goodbye. They kissed and Harry gave her a quick hug before getting his broom from the broom shed and calling Kreacher to apparate him home.

He thought that it would was too light outside to fly and he still hadn't gotten is apparate license and didnt want to get in trouble with the Ministry.

When he arrived at his house he realized just how much work Kreacher had done while he had been searching for the Horcruxes. It was cleaner, but still filled with Black family items and Harry already knew what he was going to do with all those.

"Would Master like Kreacher to do anything else before returning to Hogwarts to help out?" Kreacher asked with a bow.

"Actually Kreacher I want you to stay here for the rest of the day and help me clean and remodel the house." Harry answered.

"Ofcourse Master Harry." Kreacher said with another bow.

"Kreacher I also want to reward you for cleaning up around here and helping me out, I want you to move into Regulus' room. You can move all your things into there and I would also like you to take any remaining Black family items and take them to your room. Anything you don't want you can throw out." Harry said and Kreacher began to cry.

"Master is too good to Kreacher he will move all his things at once and will begin cleaning and moving his new things into there as soon as he can." Kreacher said as tears of joy began falling down from his eyes.

"Thank you Kreacher, the only place I want you to leave alone is Sirius' room." Harry said with a smile he was glad that Kreacher was so happy about his new arrangements.

Harry spent the next several hours cleaning Sirius' room and reading the remodeling books.

In Sirius' room he had found several pictures of his parents and Sirius' even, some of Lupin. He began changing the paint on the walls after learning a simple spell from one of the books he bought. He even mastered a tricky one that made all the objects with the black family crest fly into Kreacher's room while Kreacher clapped and cheered watching, the objects set themselves up neatly in his room.

Harry still had to remove the picture of Sirius' mother without Kreacher noticing. He sent Kreacher to inform the Weasleys that he might be a little late for dinner. Then he went and easily removed the painting after using a couple of new spells from the books. He was surprised it worked so well.

Maybe the spell had weakened because the last of the Black line had died out, he thought as he carried the painting into the backyard and covered it with his invisibilty cloak.

He muttered an incantation, that would make the invisibilty cloak stick to the painting until he lifted it. He heard a "POP" and figured that Kreacher had just got back from the Burrow_. "Muffliato" _He thought and waved his wand at the house. Now even if the painting screamed anymore, anyone in the house would not be able to hear it.

He re-entered the house feeling very happy and a brown owl flew into the house with a letter attached to it. He opened it and read it:

_Dear Harry, _

_As you are aware you missed your last year of school and several others did also, most of the muggleborns and supporters of you had a hard time finishing their education last year. Plus Exams had been cancelled due to the extensive damage to the castle. Because of this we are having all students re-take their year, first years will be at an all time high but we need to complete everyone's education. If you wish to attend Hogwarts this year please inform me as soon as you can I am very busy so it would be greatly appreciated. I hope to hear from you soon and also hope that your ambition to become an Auror has not been extinguished with the end of Voldemort. As Dumbledore always said. "Evil will never be truly dead it can only be kept at bay by those brave enough to try."_

_Yours Truly, _

_Minerva Mcgonagall _

_Headmistress_

Harry read the letter and quickly wrote his response on a spare piece of parchment, obviously Proffesor was worried that he would have none because she sent an extra piece and quill with the letter. He tied the letter to the owl and it flew out the window.

He then went into his room, Siruis' old room and searched in the closet for his godfather's old trunk. After several minutes of searching he found it. It was red and gold and had the Hogwarts crest on the top of it. Obviously Sirius had changed its color and had tried to blast off the snake on the Hogwarts crest.

He decided that he should probably have one if he was going back to Hogwarts. He also looked down at his watch and realized that he needed to get to the Burrow soon for dinner, or he would be later then he had, had Kreacher tell them he would be.

He decided he didn't want to fly there so he headed down to the fireplace and decided that he would check and see if it was still hooked up to the floo network. He threw the floo powder in and yelled. "The Burrow!" as he stepped into the fire.

He felt the odd sensation that came with traveling with floo powder. Suddenly the feeling went away and Harry stopped spinning, he stepped out of the fireplace.

"Harry!" Mrs. Weasley pulled him into a hug that made it very difficult to breathe.

"Mrs. Weasley." He could barely talk. "I can't breathe." He said.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry Harry, guess I don't know my own strength at times." She laughed while letting him out of her grasp.

"Ron and Hermione are upstairs in Ron's room and Mr. Weasley would like to talk to you tonight after dinner, about you and Ginny." She stopped talking because of the look that was on Harry's face, she looked at him confused and then it dawned on her.

"No harry, not like that he just wants to have a little chat, he's not mad or anything, niether am I. He just wants to talk to you quickly, nothing too serious." She assured him.

Harry headed upstairs and all the way up to Ron's room passing Ginny's on the way and resisting the urge to head right in there. He wanted to talk with Ron and Hermione first. He knocked and Ron opened it.

"Harry, look I never really got to say sorry last night or this morning, so." He held out his hand and Harry shook his hand.

"Still friends right?" He asked.

"Ofcourse Ron, we're best friends." He stepped into the room and sat down in a chair at Ron's desk.

"Hi Harry." Hermione said upon seeing him she hugged him quickly and Ron looked away as though the sight of it would make him sick.

"My god man, first my sister now my gir..." He broke off as Hermione had pointed her wand at his face.

"Ronald Weasley, you haven't even asked me properly yet, besides you know I don't fancy Harry, well not like that." She added quickly looking over at Harry.

"Well if you two are done fighting about who fancies who and who's with who, I wanted to ask if you guys got a letter from McGonagall?" he asked.

"Yeah we each got one." Ron answered.

"So, are you guys going back?" Harry asked.

"Oh yeah, ofcourse Mum wants to go to Diagon Alley as soon as she gets the book list." Ron said.

"We should get them in the next couple of days, so what have you been up to at Grimmauld Place?" Hermione asked

"I can't tell it's a surprise im gonna have everyone over for dinner when im done and you can all see what I've been doing." Harry answered.

"DINNER!!" Mrs. Weasley yelled from downstairs and they all headed down.

Dinner was a happy affair but the upcoming funerals loomed over them as Mrs. Weasley announced that Tonks', Lupin's and Fred's funerals would take place on the following day.

She asked Harry to stay at the Burrow that night so she could make sure he wasn't late but he declined and told her that if she wanted to ask him Mr. Weasley could apparate over and get him because he wanted her to be surprised when he had them all over for dinner. She said she'd ask him and he would let Harry know after their little talk.

Thier talk went by quickly and was really as Mrs. Weasley had said, nothing to worry about. Mr. Weasley just asked how long they had been going out and Harry explained everything to him, ofcourse he left out the snogging sessions they'd had back at Hogwarts.

Then Mr. Weasley asked a few more things and bid him a goodnight, harry said bye to everybody and returned to his house.

He noticed all the work Kreacher had done and thanked him for helping out he told him to wake him up around 6:30 tomorrow morning. He also told him that he was to go help out at Hogwarts after Harry left and to return when Harry called him that night.

Then Harry fell into a peaceful sleep with no nightmares or images of Voldemort. Instead his parents and Godfather filled his dreams all night until he woke up the next morning.
